The three bars in the example below illustrate a problem in the middle of a piece I'm transcribing. The composer has written sfz followed by a diminuendo onto the following note, but lilypond does not make enough horizontal space for the ">" diminuendo.
Bar 1 illustrates that problem. Bar 2 illustrates my work-round to force enough space for the dim. Unfortunately, the work-round does not solve a similar problem (bar 3) where the diminuendo ends on a rest rather than a note. I've tried too many different things to remember, let alone describe here. Please help! -- Graham \version "2.4.1" \paper { raggedright = ##t } \context Staff { \time 4/4 % This bar gives "warning: decrescendo too small" : a'2->\sfz\> g'4--\p f'-- % The next bar is kludged to make enough space for the dim.: << {a'2->\sfz\> g'4--\p f'--}\\{\hideNotes g'4 g'4 g'2}>> % But the kludge does not work for this bar: a'2->\sfz\> r2\p } _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
